Defendants who are convicted of violent crimes in California can face time in custody. If you are a non citizen who has been charged with a violent crime, you can take a critical step toward protecting your rights and avoiding deportation by speaking with Anthony J. Pullara, a violent crime defense attorney for immigrants.
California domestic violence crime laws present an especially serious problem for immigrants who are not United States citizens. Domestic violence offenses are considered to be crimes of moral turpitude and can cause deportation.
Other violent crimes pose immigration problems as well. Use of a gun during the commission of the crime or an imposed or suspended sentence of 365 days or more will make the convicted non citizen subject to deportation.
However, there are ways to make the charges immigration neutral. At our law firm, we seek to have charges dropped or reduced. We also negotiate favorable sentences fewer than 365 days so that our clients can return to their families instead of being forced into mandatory deportation.
Our Los Angeles law firm provides skilled criminal and deportation defense services for immigrants charged with:
- Assault
- Battery
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Assault with a vehicle
- Assault with a firearm
- Domestic violence
- Robbery
- Attempted murder
We have significant knowledge of the ways in which an assault charge can be negotiated so that the offense is "immigration neutral." When an offense is immigration neutral, it does affect immigration status.
It is important for people to know that there is no statute of limitations on convictions and deportation. If the offense is not immigration neutral, you can be at an indefinite risk for deportation — even years after the offense occurred. If you have been charged with a crime, and you are not a U.S. citizen, it is vital that you deal with the charge now. If you do not, you may always risk deportation.
